So ominous... any hint as to what happened before the next blog post installment?
- BinaryIdiot 11y ago> So ominous... any hint as to what happened before the next blog post installment? Looks like they started a new company called TaskTorch. Considering this acquisition happened in 2010 and TaskTorch hasn't really launched yet I'm going to assume they stuck around big company for a few years, hated what they were doing to the software they loved to build and eventually quit after taking their sticking-around bonus. Good way to announce your new company if I do say so :)

- mmorris 11y agoAnother little hint from the previous blog post: > The weakness of the design of the Zen UI also contributed significantly to the failure of the product after we were acquired, but that's another story.
